I think the problem here is that provider owns the lines going to home, which makes it "natural monopoly" and can charge whatever they want.

Here in socialist paradise, the state usually pitches in in order to even out the field (thus, fibre roll out to "hard to reach" places is subsidized and "last mile" fibre rings are usually owned by municipality). That way, the ISP cannot corner the market by owning the last mile and locking you in. They are free to compete for customer in virtue of speed/content/price etc.

This way, average hose owner can choose between seven ISP's on fibre (if fibre is installed), four over ADSL and probably three-four over 4G wireless, depending on location.

the party line is: "good internet speed/connectivity/penetration is good for country as whole", and I actually agree...
